Bettie Page, one of America's most photographed pin-up girls during the 1950s, died in Los Angeles on Thursday from pneumonia, her agent said. She was 85.

Page was a ubiquitous sight during the 1950s, propelled to stardom when she posed for Playboy as Miss January 1955. Soon her image was gracing playing cards, record albums and bedroom posters across the country.

It is a shame she passed. :( And I have to admit, Bettie Page graced my desktop background for over two months this year which usually only happens with pictures of my wife. At least Bunny is a fan too and understands.
